On Easter Sunday, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He is alive and He is the One who gives us hope! And it is in His name that children around the world are being released from poverty through the work of the local churches that are partnering with Compassion.

On my sponsor tour to Mexico last month, I was able to see firsthand the hope that many of the children are learning about. As sponsors, it is so important for us to make the time to write to our sponsored children on a regular basis. They want to hear from us and know about some of the things we do here in the United States. One of the ways we can share with them is to let them know what we do on important holidays.

This year, Easter Sunday falls on April 20. So this month, let’s send an Easter-themed letter and paper craft items to our sponsored children. Share with your sponsored child some of your Easter traditions, then ask him what his family does to celebrate Easter.

I made the stained glass cross craft for my child. I also printed one out for her to cut and color too. Another idea, I printed and cut out a couple larger decorated Easter eggs for her to color and glued the backs to pastel scrapbook paper. I am always looking for new crafty ideas. Thank you

I just became a sponsor and sent off my first letter! I also just started following you on Pinterest as I love all the paper craft ideas to send to our Compassion children! My Pinterest url is: cthursby. Thank you for putting together such a great Pinterest board!

Hi I am new with compassion and just sent my first letter. I am love reading these blogs for different ideas. I have a question how do we send these craft idea and coloring pages to our children through letters? Do we download the coloring page where the pictures are? Or do we copy and paste the link? I just was not sure how it worked and got to the child. Just wanted to make sure was doing it correctly. Thanks so much!
